Fixed bug 3696 - SDL_ShowMessageBox displays different error from intended
Mark Callow
SDL_ShowMessageBox calls SDL_CaptureMouse which, in the UIKit driver, raises a “That operation is not supported” error, overwriting the SDL error that an application may be trying to report.
This is because UIKit SDL_CaptureMouse returns SDL_Unsupported() which ends up calling SDL_SetError() which has the following code:
/* If we are in debug mode, print out an error message */
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", SDL_GetError());
The SDL_GetError call here overwrites the static buffer…..
Although an application can avoid this by using SDL_GetErrorMsg(char* errstr, int maxlen) to avoid the static buffer, SDL should be fixed.
The fix is simple. In SDL_SetError change
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", SDL_GetError());
to
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", error);
where error is the pointer to the buffer where it assembled the message.
